Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez Jr. suggests Brian Norman Jr. at welterweight is next

[Hustle]

That’s one of the problems with boxing, the only fights that get made are in-house fights.

There are several good matchups for Teofimo at 140 still. But we’ll never see them because of Arum and company.

Like what at 140?

Teo has no interest in paro or puello. Tank act like 140 isnt an option to him. Haney on hiatus and Ryan on suspension

pitbull is the only "big" fight possible for Teo at 140. And pitbull seems to have other plans

Take over 140 first, then try 47 later.

Interesting fight. Norman is young and undefeated. Which Teo is going to show up? Time will tell!

Teo pops ain’t gonna let it happen. Teo gasses out in140 fights, can you imagine what Norman will do to Teo around round 7 and beyond? This fight would look like Bud vs Spence.

Teo may be gassing because he's drained. But, he threw 900 punches vs. Claggett.

THE JIG UPS UP! No more coming in 15 to 20lbs heaver with an advantaged punch resistance and power disparity. Teofimo, Devin and Ryan Garcia are FINALLY going to face guys their size....and don't be surprised if they look average.

As for Brian Norman, Brian would mall Ryan Garcia and knock Devin Haney spark out. That said, styles make fights and Brain is good but he's green and predictable and based upon what he has shown, the fight should favor Teofimo Lopez.

Teofimo is the first of the weight bullies to move up but only because he wasn't lucky enough to get suspended or semi retire before Jaron Ennis exits the division. The moment Jaron Ennis is gone, Devin and Ryan will come out hiding like the munchkins when the house fell on the witch of the west.

Top Rank doing what they do best with their fighters, They did the same thing with Crawford, Stevenson, ect ect. Taking the route of fighting meaningless fights, paper titles and whatever is the easiest route, tell everyone you're the best and somehow convince the casuals that you're the best....

Could you name some opponents you would prefer over Norman?

Those would all be good matchups. What is he doing moving up to 147 when his power doesn’t even carry to 140?

He’s just allowing Top Rank to start another round of in-house recycling.

Teo’s power will not follow him to WW, hell it didn’t even follow him to JWW.

Fact's!

I know not many people know of Brian Norman Jr. but I would pick him to win and easy too! Here's why Teofimo hasn't looked great or impressive since getting the ass whipping he took from George and then to move up once we understood but to try it again against a solid fighter at welterweight I just can't see him winning against a real fighter with any sort of talent.

No! Norman, Lemos, Matias, hell even Hitchins, would be leaps, and bounds better than his last opponent Claggett!
That's what Greenfield02, was harping on about meaningless fights.
So don't try to confuse the narrative, because even Claggett was tagging, and marking Teofimo up.
If he move up, he's going to get put down, and I do believe for the count, because it looks like his best is already in the past.
